"Can I get divorced from my husband?"

by H. Shuseh Kokubu, Q.H.P.

The querent is signified by the ascendant ruler, Venus, with the Moon as
co-significator. Her husband is shown by the ruler of the seventh, Mars,
and by the Sun, the natural ruler of men.

Mars is retrograde, moving away from Venus, showing the husband's differing
views and their disagreements. Venus trines Mars, and the Moon sextiles
the Sun, but both these aspects are separating: the querent has been in
harmony with her husband, but is now trying to get away from him.

Venus, however, is in a succeedent house: the querent cannot be too
optimistic about the outcome of her question. The Moon is void of course:
she can expect nothing; the status quo will be preserved.

The querent's significator is in the fifth house of children, and is in
mutual reception by sign with Jupiter, the ruler of most of that house:
she has strong ties with her children, which have an important bearing
on the question. The Moon and Mars are also in mutual reception: with
the Moon in the second house, this shows the querent depending on the
husband for her living expenses. She has no hope of finding a job that
would allow her to live independently, for the Moon, which also rules
the tenth house of career, is in its fall.

This is, indeed, what happened: despite her wishes, the querent's financial
position and responsibilities constrained her to stay in the marriage.
